It’s starting to feel like Toy Story in here.

Learning some new skills during this strange time.

07/23/2020

At the beginning of quarantine @bobbyhawkmusic hit me up about track strings for a mystery project. Turns out it was for the @taylorswift record that just came out. Produced by @jackantonoff

If this whole record producer thing doesn’t work out, I think I’ll open a theme restaurant. Betsy Ross and Daughters? Molly Pitcher’s and Wings?

If the world is ending, I’m gonna provide the soundtrack on this harpsichord. @ Restoration Sound

I only post selfies when I’m shamelessly promoting something. This is me shamelessly promoting the beautiful, charming, idiosyncratic record that @jonnypartys made here last year. I think it’s a really special album. As intriguing as it is relaxing. Check out the link in the bio. @ Restoration Sound

Many congratulations to @doublevictornyc on their debut single being released. swipe for a picture of them with @nervous_dater (who backed them up on this release) @ Restoration Sound

03/05/2020

Two wise creatures. @jonnypartys and #wafflespartys

03/03/2020

Here at Restoration Sound we take exemplary care of our pristine vintage instruments.

A single @musicbyrue made with me came out yesterday! Perfect Saturday morning vibe. Much celebration also to @philjolygram @emilysimonemusic @adhorowi @amandab982 @johnkengla @elliotjacobson

02/28/2020

It was so much fun helping @ericaswindell make her debut single. Exquisite sadness!

02/25/2020

@jonnypartys turns meters into mush.

02/22/2020

I think I’m done buying microphones. Restoration Sound is now a novelty lighter emporium. Come pick up your tapes before they burn.

02/20/2020

I’m very proud of my Italian heritage, but they haven’t built anything that worked since the Roman aqueducts.

02/12/2020

Real ones already know...

02/10/2020

I gotta say, these $200 mics are definitely almost always better for singers than my very expensive, very vintage, very beautiful tube mics. We live in exciting times.

01/30/2020

I love it when someone comes along and invents the exact thing you need. Like this clip that holds the two mics I use for guitars amps and the same time. What will I do with all the time I’ll be saving?!

01/22/2020

This is why I shouldn’t be allowed to have credit cards.

01/11/2020

Every studio should have one of these.

“Everybody stop playing for a second. I wanna take an artsy still life of my vibraphone. The ‘gram is gonna love this.”

12/29/2019

We got a weird drum set up here with @larrylegend . Kick and snare is all you need. And 11 mics

12/17/2019

@kinetic_ontology and @jessie.linden are two percussion champions, looking like an old timey cartoon.

12/10/2019

I cannoli think of one way to celebrate the end of the year. Thank you Fortunatos.

12/06/2019

Feeling like the Marie Kondo of the studio merch game.

12/05/2019

Goddamn studio is looking like a film set this morning. I am ready for the crooning.

11/25/2019

A little Jenga tower of gooey tones!

11/14/2019

Some of you might say “Lorenzo, we love you and we’re all friends here. We’re worried about you. You already have two tape delays, why would you need a third one?”. To which I would gleefully respond: “Eat-t-t-t m-my-y-y-y-y shorts-ts-ts-ts” @ Restoration Sound

11/02/2019

These are the very exciting projects at the studio. You guys think BabyFace and TBone Burnett have hung as many shelves as I have? @ Restoration Sound

10/30/2019

Woke up this morning and said to myself: “I might just f**k around and paint my Leslie blue”. This must been how Brittany felt after she grabbed them clippers.

10/18/2019

Making a house call today to record Steve Elson in his apartment. This is the GrubHub of recording.

10/14/2019

There’s a new Piano at the studio! I only dropped it once, but the tuner says it’s ok. @ Restoration Sound

09/30/2019

Damn, who wants to shoot a movie here?

Damn, who wants to shoot a movie here?

It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to my studio couch. Innumerable tortilla chips, coffee spills, gallons of drool and farts have been lost into its depths. Here is a greatest hits reel of all the best naps that have taken place on it. If anyone wants a couch this one will be on the street outside the studio Friday afternoon. @ Restoration Sound

Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.

Turn your sound on, Insert your AirPods, floss your Bluetooth, Hold the tiny speaker in your phone next to your head. @jonnypartys needs to whisper something in your ear.

Welcome to my lab.

@theshowdownkids put out their debut record yesterday on 10” vinyl! I couldn’t be any more pleased with how it came out.

Getting spiritual here. With @divadoesdivinity and @Vinceortega

Emma HATES horns. You should have seen how mean she was to @mattyotrumpet and @xasopheno . She’s gonna have to deal with it though, because there’s some dope horn parts on this @hathawaysband record.

This sh*t is not easy. @jonnypartys writes beautiful songs and @jasonloughlinmusic is playing his ass off.

Turn that sound on and listen to @scottymetz break the laws of space and time. . . . . . #recording #guitar #guitarpedals #electricguitar #experimentalmusic #destruction

What a lovely day tracking strings with the endlessly talented @kristine_kruta @violaura88 for @spritelymusic .

This dope new flea market find (thanks @rickitikitembo ) is gonna be the new talkback mic. “Sounds really really good. Let do it a few more times?”

We be working hard here. @teddythompsonmusic @zachjonesmusic @eric_finland . . . . . #studio #brooklyn #recording #restorationsound #vintagestyle gear #vintage

Getting organized (ish). We're expanding!

Go on get em @haikulelist . Thanks @justindavidhofmann for the vibes

Y'all should really listen to what @jonnypartys sounds like putting his pedal steel through a vocoder. #wafflespartys

Them chops...

@clarakennedy waxing philosophical yesterday. She's a great cellist and all, but really you hire her for lectures. . . . . . #cello #cellist #sexual #sex #sèx #music #linguistics #language #producer #engineer #record #recording #musicmaking #instamusic #singer #singersongwriter

@Adam jrossi of @goodlookingfriends may have the weirdest beat boxing technique I've ever heard.

There's nothing better than 16 strings all working together. Go get em, @scottymetz @katiejacoby @simonkafka

Them boys @simonkafka @zachjonesmusic @chriskuffner @oseiessed straight murdering at their record release last night. Big Hands Rhythm And Blues Band.
